Brutal Prince (Brutal Birthright, 1)

I heard a lot of praise for this book and its spice scenes. Honestly, I was not entirely impressed with the writing or the development of the plot of the story. The writing seemed very elementary to me and the details about the plot and the characters were kind of all just dumped on readers at the beginning instead of a gradual build-up to learning backstories and details (maybe this is just a personal preference of mine). The sex scenes were nice and described in detail but they were nothing too kinky. It was very much a Wattpad story to me.

Despite all this though there was definitely something about this book that had me keep reading and I finished the book in one night. I think it was maybe just the needing to know when the characters were finally going to admit that they loved each other! It is an easy and fast read and although the characters can be annoying and immature it was not too horrible to get through. So three stars for a good ole fashion mafia romance and the fact that I actually finished it in one night, although I won't say there is anything special about it.

HOLY FREAKING S***!!!! I love everything about this book, its spicy to the max

For some reason I was intimidated by this book. Somehow I thought it was so dark, and gritty that I would have to mentally prepare for the setting.
But it was just right. A nice mix of dark elements like (hate sex), just enough violence, mafia buisiness and kidnapping. But on the other part the cute romantic elements like, arranged marriage and the slow breakdown of the two characters getting to know each other in reverse. As well as the morphing from the two characters not liking each other, to noticing how compatible they are, to them not being able to keep their hands off of each other. I think this is one of Lark's earlier novels, and as an avid reader I notice those adorable baby author signs in adjectives and cute descriptions, I look forward to reading more by Lark and seeing how she has evolved.

Absolutely loved this. Old school mafia with a dark romance twist. 9/10

I finally did it! I started reading Sophie Lark’s books. I started and finished this today and enjoyed it. I’m having a hard time thinking about what I’m going to rate it though bc it didn’t give me the full 5 star feels but there is so much about it that I appreciate. Hmm I think it’s bc the emotional connection between Callum and Aida didn’t feel as flushed out as it could have been. I mean the steamy moments were
